These beautiful images by the legendary Kristen of Bobby Dazzler Photography (Kristen | Surf Coast Film Photographer) came from what was meant to be a family shoot — but naturally, it somehow found its way into the pottery studio.
The golden light was pouring through the big window - the studio was its usual happy mess, and the girls were doing what they do best: making themselves at home in the middle of everything.
There’s something about a well-loved creative space that invites the right kind of chaos. Clay on the table. Little hands where they probably shouldn’t be. Half-finished pieces, tools everywhere, the space itself still incomplete on route to becoming the studio I dream it to be…
Somewhere in the middle of that beautiful mess, I realized Kristen was capturing something bigger too — the next generation growing up right alongside all of this.
The girls watching, learning, making, and slowly becoming part of the work that has shaped our family.
Maybe they’ll carry it forward, maybe they’ll forge something entirely their own. Either way, I love that these photographs will hold a little piece of this chapter for them.
Kristen somehow caught all of it — the light, the mess, the movement, and the very real joy underneath it.
I think these might be some of my favourite photographs ever had taken 🤍
Thank you Kristen, for seeing us exactly as and where we are.
